Memories have a tendency to forge their way into the foreground of our daily lives and thoughts: especially painful ones. In this visually beautiful and lyrical film, Zelimo is a young boy who escapes anti-Semitic former Soviet Union only to be baited as a commie spy by kids at an orthodox Jewish camp in New York. As events during a pivotal summer in his life unfold, the tragic incidents that brought Zelimo and his mother to America crystallize in disruptive, almost frightening flashbacks, leaving the viewer with a story that won't soon be forgotten.
